Indian Crest Middle School

Summary:

Indian Crest Middle School is a public middle school located in Souderton, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 678 students. The school is part of the Souderton Area School District, which is ranked 126 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Indian Crest Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the Souderton Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing below average. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased slightly in recent years, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has also risen, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools, both within and outside the Souderton Area School District, Indian Crest Middle School consistently underperforms. For example, Unami Middle School in the Central Bucks School District significantly outperforms Indian Crest across all academic measures. This suggests the need for the school and the district to closely examine the factors contributing to the academic performance gaps and implement targeted strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
